I am mystified as to why people huddle in small groups, in sub-zero temperatures, outside office buildings, risking pneumonia, while simultaneously exercising their right to get lung cancer! The following is an extract from my a chapter entitled “Smoking”, from my book Spain is Spain: My first introduction into the Spanish philosophy concerning the de- liberate...

Last night I went to Stratford’s Royal Shakespeare Theatre to see their new production of The Tempest. Every time that I go to see a production of a Shakespeare play I leave wondering why I went. I think that I can safely say that I have never enjoyed seeing a Shakespeare play. A couple of...

I wrote a poem Leonard, It’s the best that I can do To try to tell the world the way I feel ‘Bout losing you. Your poetry of sadness Always made me feel alive. Although there’ll be no more We have sufficient to survive. You helped me through the darkest hours. You took...

It’s Wednesday, November 9th, 2016. I awoke this morning to a photo of my daughter, who lives in California, crying.

I even like his voice, considered by many to be terrible. At 82 years old, he has just released the whimsically titled, You Want it Darker, his new album. Ever since I was a teenager, I have been arguing with my closest friends about the value and merits of this artist. “Depressing,” they mostly said,...

This was like music to Andy’s ears. It meant that he had been able to frustrate, anger or provoke someone to such a degree that they lost the ability to argue rationally and simply resorted to Neanderthal behaviour.

Indie author

There are so many reasons why I choose to self-publish my books, instead of trying to find a publisher. The main reason is that I want the freedom to publish what I want, not have to conform to someone else’s ideas about how my thoughts should be presented. With self-publishing, I have total control over content, style, illustrations, covers and much more.
